“As I travel home from the first formal week of training in my new career (and an enormous pivot from my previous trajectory), proudly wearing my freshly laminated 'access all areas' ID card, I notice from my coaching notes that 'figure out what to do for the forthcoming decade' was a key question I brought to Sabrina's leadership coaching!
I also notice from my coaching notes that the other question was ‘work on the blocks to progressing my sailing instructor qualification'. As preparation for my career change, I took a 3 month sabbatical this past Spring to use my newly acquired Sailing Instructor (Cruising) certificate to teach sailing in the Aegean!
Finally, I notice in my coaching notes that 'work out what I could do around conflict resolution', which surfaced during our coaching, has translated into a short qualification in peace-building and restorative approaches in schools!
What incredible outcomes from our coaching relationship.
I remember finding it difficult to notice in the moment exactly how Sabrina had curated and held our sessions because they felt so natural and collaborative, but now, looking back at the relationship as a whole, I can say that Sabrina is an enormously skillful, intelligent and resourceful coach. Her attention is exquisite: she listens with accuracy and insight, and I really enjoyed some of the creative techniques and questions she brought to our sessions. I am deeply happy to recommend her leadership coaching.”

motif: sounds like ‘MO’ + ‘TEEF’
In music, a motif is “a brief melodic or rhythmic formula out of which longer passages are developed” (Oxford Languages).
In neuroscience, motifs are “patterns of inter-connections between nodes of a network” (Duclos et al., 2021).
So, in our organizations, teams, and individual lives, what are our motifs? That is, what are the recurring thoughts, habits, and themes that become embodied and embedded in us and shape how we act, make decisions, and relate to others? These motifs or repeated patterns deeply influence our long-term processes and results, sometimes without us even realizing—and not always in line with our values and goals. Motif Coaching will help you identify and build the motifs that will most positively and productively impact the growth and sustainability of your life, your team, and your organization.
“Working with Sabrina through somatic coaching was a deeply impactful experience. The focus of our work was on building the courage to step fully into my personal brand and make the transition back into running a business full-time. What stood out most in Sabrina’s approach was her ability to guide the process beyond just intellectual understanding. Through somatic practices, she helped bridge the gap between thought and action, and helped me shift from overthinking into grounded, embodied decision-making.
As a result, there was not only greater clarity, but real momentum. Our work together led to taking aligned action and confidently making the decision to return to my business full-time. The practices shared in our sessions were insightful and got me moving and unstuck. Sabrina was amazing in explaining them and making it easy for a beginner starting to practice somatic work. She was the best guide I could have asked for.
Sabrina creates a space that is both incredibly supportive and deeply transformative, enabling meaningful shifts that translate into tangible outcomes!
I highly recommend her services.”
